Stop sending your ID to just anyone
I myself have been involved in a lawsuit for identity theft since 2019. Until then, I never considered the danger of sending my ID to strangers:
- Hotel reservations.
- Rural houses
- Apartments
They can ask for your ID through authorized gateways, but many will do it via email or even WhatsApp. The solution? Follow the steps of state security forces. National Police either Civil Guard and edit it before sending it.
🛡️ Why edit your ID before submitting it?

✅ What should you hide from your ID?
These are the fields you should edit before submitting your ID:
- 📸 Face photo → Better in black and white
- ✍️ Handwritten signature → It can be used for counterfeiting
- 🔢 DNI support number → It is not necessary and can be used to impersonate you.
- 🗓️ Issue and expiration dates → They don't provide anything useful for your check-in.
- 🏠 Address and family details → They can be used in scams such as the family member in distress scam
Besides, add a watermark indicating what you are sending it for, for example:
“Valid only for check-in at Apartamento Sol, 12/08/2025”
➡️ This discourages any fraudulent use.
